# Python script used as simulator for the teaching of electric field in electromagnetism course

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a Python-based simulator for electric fields, designed to enhance electromagnetism teaching by providing interactive, ICT-based learning experiences in higher education.

## Contribution

It presents a novel Python tool for simulating electric fields, integrated into electromagnetism courses to improve student engagement and understanding.

## Key findings

- Improved student engagement in electromagnetism courses.
- Successful implementation across three higher education institutions.
- Enhanced understanding of electric fields through simulation.

## Abstract

We present this work like software tool developed in Python, based on a methodology to obtain the electric field produced by n charges. The tool was developed and implemented in courses of electromagnetism and laboratory in three institutions of higher education. The aim for this work is to incorporate information and communication technologies (ICTs) at the university, in accordance with the programs promoted by the Colombian Ministry of Education. We wanted to connect the students with sensitives experiences of the physical phenomena that allow them to improve their experience of learning of subjects traditionally studied through the board course.
